The 2009 Rossj-Bass (Chardonnay) is a gorgeous, soft white laced with peaches, apricots, flowers and mint. This is a totally inviting Rossj-Bass graced with exquisite class and elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. Getting to the top in any field is hard. Staying at the top is even harder. For all of the praise Angelo Gaja and his family have received over the years, they have earned and deserve every bit of it. These new releases, the 2008 reds from Barolo in particular, are insanely beautiful. Importer: Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604 8900

Pale golden yellow. Tropical fruits, white peach, honey, licorice and fresh herbs on the nose and palate. Sweet and supple in the mouth, with rather elevated alcohol supported by the wine's texture and concentration. Finishes classically dry.
